According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial involved adults with psoriasis and was conducted in two parts. In Part 1, 175 participants were assigned to receive ABP 501 (a medicine being compared to an existing treatment) and 175 were assigned to receive adalimumab (the existing, approved treatment), running for 16 weeks. In Part 2, participants continued into a longer follow-up phase through to around week 50, where some stayed on the same medicine they started with, and one group switched from adalimumab to ABP 501. The trial was measuring changes in psoriasis severity using a scoring system called the PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), which rates the redness, thickness, and scaliness of skin patches on a scale from 0 to 72 — with higher numbers meaning more severe psoriasis. The reported data shows that by week 16, participants in the ABP 501 group had, on average, an approximately 81% improvement in their PASI score from where they started, while the adalimumab group had an approximately 83% improvement. When looking at the proportion of people whose PASI score improved by 75% or more — a commonly used marker in psoriasis research — the reported data shows around 74% of the ABP 501 group and around 83% of the adalimumab group reached that level by week 16. By week 32, the reported figures for that same marker were approximately 83%, 85%, and 85% across the three continuing groups respectively, and by week 50 they were approximately 85%, 87%, and 81%. The reported data shows that these figures remained broadly similar across all three groups through weeks 32 and 50, including the group that switched from adalimumab to ABP 501 partway through.
